This study has 12 sessions, incorporating an introductory session and 11 lessons. The Study Set includes a Study Guide by Little Rock Scripture Study Staff and the New Collegeville Bible Commentary, The Gospel According to Luke, by Michael F. Patella (Liturgical Press).
Michael F. Patella, OSB, SSD, is associate professor of New Testament at the School of Theology Seminary and the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota, where he writes the 'Seers' Corner' for 'The Bible Today', published byLiturgical Press.
Luke tells the story ofJesus of Nazareth as a mighty prophet and Savior of theworld in fulfillment of Old Testament expectations. Luke also emphasizes Jesus as a person dedicated to prayer. He begins with Jesus' virginal conception and birth, and follows Jesus through his public ministry to his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven—all under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Luke, along withMatthew and Mark, is one of the synoptic gospels. It is the primary gospel of year 'C' in the Catholic Church's liturgical cycle.
